Remove engine/gearbox 1993 6.5 turbo diesel
Hello
I have recently started a project with a 1993 Chevrolet K2500, where the gearbox is done for, and the engine is in need of some tlc.
(Automatic overdrive transmission)
I have not removed this kind of engine before (lifted it out), only smaller V6, straight fours..
So far i have only started to remove some of the salad on the engine, and unfortunately i dont have access to a car lift, so i have to it all standing firmly on terra nova..
I will have access underneath the car, to be able to get of exhaust pipes, engine mounts and so on...
But is it possible to pull the engine, with the transmission still attached, or do i have to split them to get them out ?
Sorry for the dumb question...

Transfer case linkage connectors/fasteners
I have encountered a little snag in removing my engine on my K2500...
The linkage arm on the transfer case (Engage/disengage) is fitted with a (for me) unknown type of press fitting ..
Well it looks like a hard rubber pressed connector on each side on one of the linkage arms. Its is not threaded as far as i can see..
I am afraid of breaking the rubber part if i use any more force on the connector..
Has anybody had any experience with these "fantastic" connectors ?
(Im almost seeing myself hacksawing the shi** out of the connectors..)
